Ch 334: Support and Confident Nobles

Without actually seeing the situation outside the military camp and relying only on a few words, Yang Qian couldn’t make a decision.

He had to personally go to the city wall to see what was happening with the enemy.

Yang Kang quickly followed behind.

When the two arrived at the city wall, the enemy was still reorganizing and hadn’t taken any further offensive actions.

Yang Qian looked at the gatekeeper on duty and asked:

“When did the enemy start changing?”

“Reporting to the general, the enemy started an hour ago, but for some reason, the enemy’s momentum is huge, but they don’t seem to have any intention of attacking.”

The gatekeeper answered respectfully.

The gatekeeper’s answer made Yang Qian fall into deep thought.

If the enemy really wanted a decisive battle, they wouldn’t reorganize with such fanfare!

This is a city tower, a strategic pass!

Instead of attacking when the defending soldiers weren’t paying attention, the enemy attracted all the defenders’ attention. How could they attack like this?

Yang Qian admitted that the enemy’s overall strength was lower than his own, but he would never treat the enemy as fools.

Such a simple mistake couldn’t possibly be made!

After all, this was war, and people would die! The enemy wouldn’t give someone a free pass just because they were of high status.

It was more about white blades going in and red blades coming out.

Yang Qian felt that no general would joke with their own life.

However, things quickly exceeded Yang Qian’s expectations.

The enemy, having completed their reorganization, began to advance towards the strategic pass in full force, except for a small number guarding the camp. Did they really intend to attack?

At this moment, Yang Qian was dumbfounded.

Could there really be such an idiot （Han Pi） doing things like this!

But the fact had already happened, and Yang Qian couldn’t deny it.

He could only forcibly suppress the twitching corners of his mouth and look at Yang Kang behind and to his side:

“Yang Kang, what do you think the enemy is planning to do?”

Yang Kang was also very surprised by the enemy’s strange behavior. Facing Yang Qian’s question, he hesitated for a moment before answering:

“General, the enemy should be planning a decisive battle with us.”

“Nonsense!”

Yang Qian glanced at Yang Kang, then looked at the powerful enemy army.

Suddenly, Yang Qian noticed a section in the enemy army that seemed out of sync with the entire army.

Yang Qian pointed to that part and asked:

“Which enemy general commands that part that is out of place with the surrounding enemy troops?”

After such a long time of fighting, Yang Qian had figured out the military structure of the Migard Eastern Expedition Army, where various nobles commanded separately.

Yang Kang looked at the flags on the opposite side and frowned:

“General, that part is the position of the enemy commander-in-chief, but it’s a bit strange. Even during large-scale sieges, the position of the commander-in-chief’s flag wouldn’t be skewed like that. This time, not only is the flag position skewed, but the position where the commander-in-chief’s flag appears is not just one place.”

“You mean, the position of the commander-in-chief’s flag is not just one place?” Yang Qian repeated.

Yang Kang carefully observed the army in front again, then nodded affirmatively and confirmed:

“Yes, General. Look there, there, and there, there are all the same flags.”

Yang Kang pointed to several identical flags, his tone very certain.

“Do you think the enemy might be trying to escape?” Yang Qian stroked his chin, looked at the approaching army in front, and said in a deep voice.

“Escape?” Yang Kang was surprised and uncertain when he heard this.

Now the enemy had gathered almost all of their troops and were rushing towards them. It didn’t look like they were trying to escape at all!

Perhaps knowing what Yang Kang was thinking, Yang Qian explained:

“It’s not the escape of the entire army, but only the commander-in-chief’s army wants to escape.”

“But, why?”

Yang Kang was a little puzzled. Although the enemy had no hope of capturing the strategic pass now, they still had a large number of troops.

Unless their side sent out high-level generals, the enemy wouldn’t think their opponents were too strong.

But now the enemy commander-in-chief was actually abandoning almost all of their troops and preparing to flee for their lives. This was a bit incomprehensible!

Yang Qian shook his head. He didn’t quite understand what the enemy commander-in-chief was thinking either.

On the Migard Eastern Expedition Army’s side, many nobles and officers sat together, their faces filled with suppressed smiles.

“Hahaha, welcome to the support from the Holy Knight Lords. With the support of you lords, we will definitely capture this strategic pass this time!”

“That’s right, the enemy has been able to stop us for so long because they must have gathered the strength of the entire country in this strategic pass, and they are so tenacious because they are fighting on their home ground. Now they must be exhausted.”

“But we have the support of you Holy Knight Lords. Perhaps when you lords stand on the front line and release your aura, the enemy will rush to open the city gates to welcome us, hahaha!”

The flattery of the crowd made the dozen or so Holy Knights who came to support them very satisfied, their faces flushed, and their cranial pleasure reached its peak.

Originally, when they first arrived at the battlefield, Duke Ryan didn’t let them rest or welcome them with a feast, but started preparing for war, which made them complain endlessly in their hearts.

Afterwards, they were sent to these small nobles to cooperate in their operations.

This was simply not taking them seriously!

But after they came, they found that these small nobles really knew how to have fun.

Marching and fighting didn’t affect their enjoyment of poetry and music at all!

They even enjoyed it with them.

This made them sigh. The dog days they had lived before were not as happy as these small nobles.

Their lives had really been wasted!

At this time, one of the Holy Knights looked regretful and said with regret:

“It’s a pity that the Duke is too rigid and can’t accept having fun with us.”

As soon as he finished speaking, another Holy Knight retorted nonchalantly:

“You can’t say that. The Duke is strict with himself and can’t tolerate any nonsense. It’s only because we are Holy Knights. Otherwise, would you let ordinary soldiers try?”

As soon as these words came out, the scene became quiet.

Everyone was a noble, and they all knew what could be said and what couldn’t be said. They weren’t as bold as this person, who was making sarcastic remarks about Duke Ryan in public.

After all, not everyone had the cultivation level of this Holy Knight as a reliance.

This Holy Knight seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and a smile appeared on his face:

“Hehe, what I meant was, it’s a pity that the Duke didn’t come! Yes! It’s just a pity.”

Everyone present knew he was covering up, but no one called him out on it.

It’s none of their business, so they didn’t care.

As long as it didn’t involve themselves, they didn’t mind watching others make fools of themselves.

The atmosphere on the scene became lively again, as if the scene just now had never happened.
